Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus including at least one processor that has hardware. The at least one processor generates a first content image in a three-dimensional virtual reality space to be displayed on a head-mounted display, generates a second content image to be displayed on a flat-screen display, and generates a third content image from the first content image and/or the second content image.

Abstract: A sharing processing section uploads a content image recorded in an image recording device to a distribution server. A display processing section displays a display element indicative of the updated content image. The sharing processing section acquires past distribution record data regarding the uploaded content image. The display processing section displays information regarding past distribution records in association with the display element indicative of the uploaded content image.

Abstract: An image evaluating section calculates evaluation values of a plurality of game videos recorded in a recording apparatus. A data reduction processing section reduces, on the basis of each of the evaluation values of the plurality of game videos, a data amount of a game video recorded in the recording apparatus. In the recording apparatus, an upper limit capacity is set to a region in which the plurality of game videos are recorded. The data reduction processing section reduces the data amount of the already recorded game videos, when a new game video is recorded in the recording apparatus.

Abstract: When a preset event occurs during a game progress, game software outputs an event code indicating the event that has occurred. A recording apparatus records a game video generated by execution of the game software, in association with time information. An event information transmitting section transmits, to a management server, event information including the event code and the event occurrence time. A video information transmitting section transmits, to the management server, an image ID set for the game video in the recording apparatus and time information indicating the start time and the end time of the game video. An editing management section acquires, from the management server, event data that identifies the event that has occurred in the game video, and determines a scene to be edited. A video editing section performs editing processing on the game video, based on the scene determined by the editing management section.

Abstract: A first acquisition section acquires a content image from an information processing apparatus. A second acquisition section acquires a camera image from the information processing apparatus. A synthesis processing section generates a distribution image by combining the content image with the camera image. A transmission processing section transmits the generated distribution image to an image sharing server.

Abstract: A message generation unit generates a notification message. A setting unit registers setting information determining whether or not a camera image is to be included in a distribution image. A distribution processing unit distributes a distribution image. When the camera image is set to be included in the distribution image, an image processing unit generates the distribution image including a region in which the notification message is superimposed. When the camera image is set not to be included in the distribution image, the image processing unit generates the distribution image not including the region in which the notification message is superimposed.

Abstract: A game image generation unit generates a game image, and a game audio generation unit generates a game audio. An audio acquiring unit acquires a microphone audio input to a microphone. A distribution processing unit distributes the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image. An accepting unit accepts an operation made by a user. During distribution of the microphone audio, the game audio, and the game image, after the accepting unit accepts a predetermined operation, the distribution processing unit operates in either a first mode in which a first standby image is distributed and the microphone audio is distributed as well or a second mode in which a second standby image is distributed but the microphone audio is not distributed.

Abstract: A game image generating section 120 generates a first image and a second image of an application. An image providing section 152 provides the first image to an output apparatus 4. A sharing processing section 160 streaming-distributes the second image to the sharing server. A display image generating section 150 may generate a display image including at least the first image and information associated with the second image. In addition, the sharing processing section 160 may instruct the application to generate the second image on the basis of a request from a viewing user.

Abstract: A voice acquisition section 126 acquires a voice of a user viewing content. A recording processing section 116 records content data and user voice data and generates a content file in which the content data and the user voice data are associated with a recording time. A voice detection section 136 detects whether or not the voice of the user has been acquired by the voice acquisition section 126. An event information generation section 140 generates event information including a start time and an end time of the acquisition of the voice of the user. A communication section 102 transmits the event information to a server.

Abstract: A first ring buffer records a game moving image by game software currently being executed, together with time information. In a case where an event is generated in a game, an event information acquiring part acquires event information including an event code that identifies the generated event, from the game software. A second ring buffer records therein the acquired event information together with the time information synchronized with the first ring buffer.

Abstract: An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including a game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more of information processing terminals through a shared server. A participation processing unit 128 accepts play requests of viewing users operating the information processing terminals and approves a game play of one of the viewing users who has made a request for a play. An application execution unit 110 processes a game using operation information transmitted from the information processing terminal operated by the viewing user the game play of which has been approved.

Abstract: Techniques for presenting recently generated content on a display include presenting, based on an execution of an application, content on the display, generating a content file including at least one of a video or a screenshot of the application, storing the content file, receiving, based on user input at the input device, a request to access one or more of content files from the folder, wherein the request is received while the execution of the application continues, and presenting, in response to the request, a window over at least a first portion of the content while the execution of the application continues, wherein the window previews the content file and indicates the recency of the content file, and includes a selectable option to edit for length, crop, or annotate in the window any of the content file or the other content files.

Abstract: An application execution unit 110 generates a game image. A message generation unit 112 generates a notification message. An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including the game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more information processing terminals through a shared server. A setting unit 114 allows a user to set whether or not the notification message is included in the distribution image so as to be visually recognizable, and registers setting contents in a storage apparatus.
